A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

Liu Tong nodded in satisfaction.

He looked at Liu Qingxia and said, "Miss Liu, I know that there has been a great change in Qingzhou City, and you must be very busy. However, I must remind you that time is of the essence for the Qing Iron Mine, so we must continue to work hard at the mine."

Liu Qingxia quickly said, "Eunuch Liu, I understand. I am extremely grateful for the position of city lord you have given my husband this time. The Qingtie Mine will definitely be completed on time."

Liu Tong chuckled and nodded before leaving.

After seeing Liu Tong off, Liu Qingxia turned to Chen Yang and said, "Liu Tong gave us the position of city lord not because of our merit in slaying the alien demon, but because he wanted to keep urging me to finish dealing with the Qingtie Mine as soon as possible. I don't know what's so important about this Qingtie Mine."

Chen Yang frowned slightly and said, "The Eastern Depot is now the most powerful institution in the entire Ming Dynasty. They can act first and report later, and execute first and report later. They have immense power. Liu Tong is also an important figure in the Eastern Depot. The fact that he would lower himself to curry favor with you shows that he really values ​​this Qing iron ore. Before, when Xiao Fan died, he also mentioned that Xiao Daoyun wanted Qing iron ore to deal with your grandfather and the Liu family. It seems that this ore really does have other great uses."

The two men returned to the table and continued drinking and chatting.

Liu Qingxia couldn't help but frown and rub her temples: "This is troublesome. The affairs of the city lord are complicated. There are a lot of things to deal with, such as city defense, people's livelihood, reconstruction... Just thinking about it gives me a headache. I've decided to make you the city lord. You won't be angry, will you?"

Chen Yang was touched and said, "I know you're doing this for my own good, trying to get my eyes treated. I'm just grateful. Anyway, I'll offer you a bowl of rice."

Liu Qingxia smiled happily. Hearing the title "wife," she felt no aversion whatsoever; instead, she felt even more joy.

After drinking alcohol.

Liu Qingxia smiled and said, "If only my eldest sister were here. She is meticulous and experienced in handling matters. If we leave these things to her, you and I can save a lot of trouble."

Chen Yang didn't find it troublesome at all; instead, a hint of excitement flashed through his eyes.

A bold plan had already formed in his mind.

"Qingxia, don't worry," he said with a smile. "We can find someone to handle these things. Besides, I want to renovate Qingzhou City and turn it into a different kind of city. Don't forget, I used to be a notorious shrewd merchant in Qingzhou City. I didn't have the chance to make a fortune before, but now I can finally rebuild Qingzhou City properly."

Liu Qingxia covered her mouth and laughed, then couldn't help patting Chen Yang's shoulder, saying, "You're getting proud of being a shrewd businessman. But thinking about it, it makes sense. You were suppressed at every turn before, yet you still created a business miracle in three years. This time, you've really unleashed your potential. Just, please don't let anyone be unable to afford a house or rice."

Chen Yang laughed.

That afternoon, Chen Yang found Meng Shuang.

"Shuang'er, now the entire Qingzhou City is ours. Perfect timing, some of my factories can finally be put on the agenda."

Chen Yang handed over the blueprints he had drawn, which depicted complex mechanical structures. "Let's build two large factories first, one a steam engine manufacturing plant and the other a steel plant."

Meng Shuang took the blueprints, growing more and more astonished as she looked at them. Her finger traced the blueprints: "Young Master, these... these mechanical structures are unheard of! This 'steam engine,' can it really be powered by burning coal? And this steel mill, with this design, can increase steel production several times over?"

"That's right." Chen Yang nodded and patiently explained, "The steam engine can provide a continuous source of power to drive all kinds of machinery, whether it's road construction, city building, or weapon manufacturing. And the steel mill can provide us with enough steel to support the transformation of the entire city."

He paused, his eyes gleaming: "I want to build Qingzhou City into a steampunk city. There will be speeding steam locomotives, towering steel factories, and sturdy mechanical defenses... Just thinking about it is fascinating."

Meng Shuang was deeply attracted by his idea and excitedly said, "Young master, we can also upgrade our caravan into an iron caravan! Hehehe, then wherever we go to do trade, we'll be the most stylish!"

Chen Yang also laughed.

In this world where almost everyone cultivates, steampunk's combat power is average, but it's undeniably cool. Moreover, later on, someone will naturally fuse spiritual power with steampunk, and who knows, there might even be some surprising inventions.

However, although these things were fun, Chen Yang didn't take them too seriously.

After entrusting these matters to Meng Shuang, he returned to his bedroom.

He took out the Dragon-Capturing Palm and the Breath Concealing Technique that he had obtained from Xiao Daoyun and began to study them.

In the end, this world is still based on strength.

Early the next morning.

Liu Qingxia excitedly grabbed Chen Yang's hand and said that her eldest sister, Liu Zhichun, had returned.

Chen Yang and Liu Qingxia went out to greet them.

A woman stood at the door, wearing a light blue dress, her long hair tied up in a bun, adorned with an elegant jade hairpin.

She has a beautiful appearance and a gentle, quiet charm. Her brows carry a faint maternal glow, and her demeanor is graceful and generous, making people feel good about her at first sight.

As expected of Liu Qingxia's older sister, she is indeed a beauty of unparalleled grace.

"Big sister!" Liu Qingxia quickly stepped forward and hugged Liu Zhichun tightly, her tone affectionate.

Liu Zhichun patted her back with a smile, then looked at Chen Yang with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Half a month has passed, and Chen Yang has changed so much! When he left, Chen Yang was an unlucky guy being chased, but now when I see him again, he is dignified and even handsome.

Moreover, it seems that he and Liu Qingxia have a... pretty good relationship?

Liu Zhichun felt strange, but he simply stepped forward and said, "Young Master Chen, how have you been? Let's go home."

At this moment, Liu Qingxia naturally stepped forward, took Chen Yang's hand, and led him inside.

There was not the slightest bit of shyness.

Liu Zhichun was even more surprised when she caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye!

When she went out to find medicine, she heard that something had happened in Qingzhou City, so she rushed home.

I thought something tragic was going to happen.

Unexpectedly, his second sister seemed quite happy.

Hmm, it's a bit messy.

Chen Yang is the husband of her three sisters.

In retrospect, Liu Qingxia, at least, did a pretty good job as a wife.

That evening, Liu Qingxia hosted a banquet.

The three sat around the dining table, the candlelight was bright, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Liu Qingxia frequently served Chen Yang food and poured him wine, her movements natural and practiced, clearly indicating she had done this many times before.

Liu Zhichun smiled slightly as she watched the scene unfold before her.

"Big sister, what are you laughing at? There's something strange about the person laughing," Liu Qingxia said, puzzled.

Liu Zhichun shook her head slightly and said, "It's nothing, I just felt that you were very good to Chen Yang. I didn't know that my usually aloof second sister was so good at taking care of people."
